Well Git is simply great. It's fast, it's powerful, there's a very helpful community, it's integrated everywhere, there are well made and useful online repository (Yes Github, but others too), the list goes on and on. Yes, there are bazaar, mercurial and probably dozen of others, but there's also git.
I'm not sure I get your point. I think what you don't like is that they chose to jump on git without real reason instead of carefully comparing other alternatives. It might be true.. or it might not. All great programmers try various version control.. if the majority of them prefered Git for their personal projects, why not switch to it? And, for open source project, Github is really just too useful.
- skeptical 15y agoMy point is rather simple: Everybody is jumping in the git/github bandwagen but the huge majority doesn't appear to be able to state practical advantage of git besides github popularity. That is my point. Not saying that there are no advantages, but heck, changing to something else because "it should be good, everyone else is doing it" is plain stupid... and very silly. And those are attributes we wouldn't want to welcome to the hackers' community.
- armandososa 15y agoever heard of the network effect?
- rimantas 15y agoWho are "we"? Someone making assumptions about the motivation of others? the huge majority doesn't appear to be able How do you know that? Did you interview the huge majority yourself? Git has many important advantages over svn and they are no secret.
